Global Insulating Gloves Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Insulating Gloves market size is expected to reach $ 442 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 4.6% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Insulating gloves offer personal protection against electrical shocks when working on or near live wires. Six classes of gloves, differing in electrical characteristics, are provided and are designated as Class 00, Class 0, Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and Class 4.
Employees who work in close proximity to live electrical current may require a variety of electrically insulating protective equipment. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) outlines this in its electrical protective equipment standard 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.137, which provides the design requirements and in-service care and use requirements for electrical insulating gloves and sleeves as well as insulating blankets, matting, covers and line hoses.
Once the electrical safety gloves have been issued, OSHA requires that “protective equipment be maintained in a safe, reliable condition.” This requires that the gloves be inspected for any damage before each day’s use. Gloves must also be inspected immediately following any incident that may have caused damage. OSHA also requires that insulating gloves be given an air test along with the inspection.
The air testing method is described in ASTM F496-14a Standard Specification for in-Service Care of Insulating Gloves and Sleeves. The glove is filled with air, either manually or with a powered inflator, and then checked for leakage. The leakage is detected by listening for escaping air or by holding the glove against the tester’s cheek to feel air releasing. In accordance with ASTM F496-14a, gloves and sleeves should be expanded no more than 1.5 times their normal size for Type I, and 1.25 times normal for Type II during the air test. The procedure should then be repeated with the glove turned inside out.
Since sleeves cannot be inflated, they should be inspected along the edge as they are rolled. Rolling will stretch the sleeve along the edge, making cuts, tears and ozone cutting more visible. After the outside of the sleeve is inspected, the procedure should also be repeated with the sleeve turned inside out.
Before each use, gloves and sleeves should be inspected for holes; rips or tears; ozone, cutting or ultraviolet damage; and signs of chemical deterioration per ASTM F1236-14, Standard Guide for Visual Inspection of Electrical Protective Rubber Products. Gloves and sleeves should also be examined to determine if they show any damage as a result of chemical contamination, particularly from petroleum products. The first sign of chemical exposure is swelling in the area of contamination. Should any glove or sleeve be exposed to chemical contaminants or suspected of any other physical damage, they should be retested per ASTM D120-14a requirements.
